There is zero rigidity in the bottom plastic, its very flexible and flimsy, the only way to get around this is to extend the stands the length of the bag and strap them in. The main handle for rolling it is going to break soon. I was not happy with the bag when I first bought it, after now having this bag roughly a year, the zipper is broken, a handle has ripped off. Buy another bag.

This bag has great features and is durable. to a point. After transporting my stands and gear for a regular 5 piece kit to a weekly gig, the 2 end carry straps started to rip. I did not mishandle this bag and treated it well. yes, it did get use for about 3 months or so. Gators response to my RMA request was fast and prompt.

This rolling bag has been a life-saver. While it could be a couple extra inches longer, I can't really find any substantial complaints. Having the wheels makes it easy to move all my hardware around (less trips to and from the touring vehicle!), and has allowed me to shorten my setup/teardown time at gigs because I don't have to figure out which stands go in which of my bags like I did when I had soft cases. It's also tall enough internally that I can cram all kinds of extra stuff inside. Definitely a must-have if you play out a lot and have a anything more than a "minimalist" kit.
